In 2006 a genetic signal within the gene encoding transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) was first reported to be associated with type 2 diabetes. Since then multiple genome-wide association studies have revealed this signal to be among the most strongest associations reported with this disease to date. Furthermore, multiple studies around the world have revealed the global relevance of this locus
In this chapter it is argued that the feminist pioneer Mary Wollstonecraft regarded moral agency as an exercise of freedom; a person who is unfree cannot perform acts that are moral in the proper sense. There are three aspects to this deprivation: first, the psychological effects of oppression; second, processes of deliberation and reasons for action, and third, the moral character of an act, such
Our purpose in this chapter is to give a brief perspective on islands in global historical-political ecology, focusing on ecologically unequal exchange and the formation of landesque capital. We emphasize how these processes are intertwined and recursively connected in broader contexts of uneven development. Empirical examples draw on our research into the historical-political ecology of islands a
This chapter describes a personal aerosol sampler with size fractionation and time resolution that gives samples for elemental analysis. An impaction stage collects coarse particles and a filtration stage collects finer ones. Sampling in consecutive time intervals is performed on different impaction and filtration surfaces. These sampling surfaces corresponding, for example, to 15-min intervals, m
Two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2D) has been applied to beta-carotene in solution to shine new light on the ultrafast energy dissipation network in carotenoids. The ability of 2D to relieve spectral congestion provides new experimental grounds for resolving the rise of the excited state absorption signal between 18,000 and 19,000 cm(-1). In this spectral region, the pump-probe signals fro

Den här uppsatsen behandlar begreppet konkurrenspåverkan av konkurrensbegränsande samarbete såsom det regleras i Sherman Act Section 1 och Artikel 101 FEUF. Regleringarna utgör hörnstenar i respektive lands konkurrensrätter. I USA tillämpar domstolar en skälighetsprincip, the rule of reason, under vilken samarbete som resulterar i en negativ konkurrenspåverkan anses oförenligt med Sherman Act SectThis essay concerns the notion of competitive effect of trade restrictive agreements as regulated in the Sherman Act Section 1 and Article 101 TFEU. The provisions on trade restrictive agreements constitute an important part of competition law in the US and the EU. In the US, the Sherman Act Section 1 condemns trade restrictive agreements under a standard of reason, called the rule of reason. The
This master thesis explores the possibilities of social robot adoption in the hotel industry. Social robots represent a new product group, a radical innovation, that has yet not seen commercialization in the hotel industry in Sweden. Furthermore, previous research has requested studies that determine success factors for social robot adoption in specific markets. This thesis therefore investigates

Background: In today’s consumption society, there is an endless amount of cosmetic brands to choose from. Moreover, the global consumption of cosmetics continues to increase, both among male and female consumers, and new cosmetic brands are constantly entering the marketplace. Despite this, little is known about the relationships between consumers and cosmetic brands (consumer-brand relationships)
Thesis purpose: The purpose of this study is to contribute to the existing literature on co-creation, specifically regarding the phenomenon of consumer participation in crowdsourcing contests. By taking a consumer perspective, it is our ambition to improve the conceptualization of the phenomenon of participants motives, experiences, attitudes and feelings, in general and related to the brand, in
The main question for this thesis is to discuss how come there are so many different theological motivations for the social actions of the church. The purpose of this thesis is to examine how this can be. The main study is in the context of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Sweden.

Den komplexa historien till trots kunde ett avtal tecknas mellan de inblandade parterna 1998. Denna uppsats fokuserar främst på USA som inbegrips i konflikten i början på 90-talet,
In this essay we discuss the importance of the rule of law for upholding fundamental rights within the liberal democratic state formation. The case in point is that of the Jamaica state and its longstanding record of arbitrary human rights practices. Under the rule of law all parts of the state apparatus is subject to the principals of legality and accountability, this entails testing the legality
In this theses I discuss and analyse how nationalism effects local conflict reporting with a field study in Israel and the occupuied territories. Since 2000 Israelis and Palestinians have not been able to meet each other. The Israelis do not enter the occupied palestinian territories because of fear and Palestinians are not allowed to enter Israel without a special permitt. Instead they met throug
This essay examines the leisure habits of the English upper classes portrayed in three 19th century novels, to determine whether gender, wealth, and the urban versus rural distinction, influence patterns of leisure participation within the leisured classes. The novels are Pride and Prejudice (1813), by Jane Austen, Jane Eyre (1847), by Charlotte Brontë, and The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890), by Os
The aim of this research is to create an understanding for the motivation to include conditional clauses regarding foreign countries in domestic green house gas (GHG) abatement legislation. In addition I aim to explain how these clauses change the strategic environment, in an interaction with the purpose to reach an international environmental agreement (IEA) to combat global warming. I chose this
We here describe the current knowledge about the radiologic and histologic pulmonary features of covid-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, and present lung histology from a case with fatal disease. Initial findings on computed tomography (CT) typically include peripheral multifocal bilateral ground-glass opacities, and correspondingly microscopic alveolar edema. This is followed by peripheral consolidations
